We post various information about Ariadne Headband on our Hackaday Project. We currently have over 800 people following our updates. You can find there many photos from our testing and initial development story.

Ariadne will help blind people navigate through streets. It should not replace their alertness. They will still need to keep themselves on the pedestrian walks and obey traffic lights. We want to improve their ability to orient in vast spaces.

There already are other application that offer navigation for blind people. Our device differs because it does not requires you to hold phone inside your hand. Once you start navigation, you can put the phone in your pocket. Free hand is useful if you hold cane in your other hand.

If you have opinion about our project, or would like to try using it (only in Brno, Czechia), contact us on our email.
